My grandmother called the 2 of clubs "The Gift." It might represent a birthday or anniversary present, or something special being given or received for any special occasion. But the idea of "the gift" is not limited to material things. The gift could be someone else's time or energy given freely, some helpful advice, or even a piece of expected good news!

My grandmother called the 4♣ the "mind your own business" card, and business didn't necessarily apply only to commerce. She often read this card to mean "using common sense" when dealing with you own personal business. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Five of Clubs

The restlessness of the Number Five, and the energy of the Suit of Clubs combine to make the 5 of Clubs a card of action and change. The 5 of Clubs can herald changes in a work situation, or in social circumstances. The change may be positive or negative depending on the surrounding cards.

I read the 5♣ as an “action card.” For me it represents “physical activity,” and always tells me that somebody is taking action to get something done.

My Grandmother called the Queen of Clubs “The Successful Woman of Business.” When I first learned to read, I had a difficult time with the Face Cards. I found it hard to try to place the people into the seeker’s life. I would stumble over trying to describe the person’s complexion and coloring. It helped me to think of the Face Cards as stereotypes or cardboard cutout figures, and then to allow the surrounding cards to flesh out the description. Now I almost never read the Face Cards as coloring unless I’m using a significator, or the seeker specifically asks for a physical description. © Kapherus, all rights reserved 6

I usually read the Queen of Clubs as a female work associate. If she represents a love interest about to enter a male seeker’s life, she is someone he will meet at work or in a work environment. When I read for a female, the Queen of Clubs most often represents the seeker’s best friend. Of course the Queen of Clubs can represent the female seeker herself. In that case, I know I’m reading for an active, industrious, reliable woman who is well-liked and has great business sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

King of Clubs

Traditionally, the King of Clubs represents a male of medium coloring with medium to dark brown hair and brown, blue or hazel eyes. He is a reliable friend and trusted adviser. The King of Clubs is generally a married man.

My Grandmother called the King of Clubs “The Married Businessman," and "business" didn't always refer only to commerce. It could also represent "hanky-panky." When a female seeker is involved with a married man, he is often represented by the King of Clubs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I read the 3♦ as “a financial opportunity” which covers anything from a new job offer to a chance to get in on the ground floor of the next big “get rich quick’ pyramid scheme. It can indicate a lucrative side job, a small promotion on your current job, or even just a small raise in pay.

I’ve found that the 3♦ can also indicate “financial expansion.” This might include expanding a business base, or actually breaking down walls and expanding the business space. When surrounded by negative cards, the 3 of Diamonds can denote “scattering your energies,” and a lack of focus. In relationship readings, this card can indicate “fickleness” or changeability in a lover who runs hot and cold. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Four of Diamonds

Also from the coupling of financial stability and 4 walls, the 4♦ can represent “rent” or a rented piece of property such as an apartment or condo . I read the 4♦ as a stable financial situation. For example, if it falls with the 3 of Clubs I know the business opportunity will be financially stable. Specifically, the 4 of Diamonds can indicate financial “papers.” This can be anything from a dollar bill to a real estate license. Often the 4♦ will indicate a bank account or checking account, and will fall with spades when the seeker is about to make a large purchase (spades indicate “loss” or “spent” money). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My grandmother called the 7♦ “wise investments.” For her, this card represented the seeker’s liquid assets, and the surrounding cards would denote the current financial state, and any action to be taken with the money in the way of investments, or large purchases such as a car or home. Once the money was invested, it would be represented by the 10♦. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
